You made me curious
Edie. Although we don't use New Jersey Moulding, one feature of
Specialty Soft, is that you can go to their website anytime, click on customer support, and view the last time any & all vendors made an update (price and/or inventory line items).
I checked out New Jersey Moulding, and they had their last change made to
Specialty Soft on 12/06/2002. That would tend to say one of three things.... 1) The data that NJM sent to FrameReady was not current, 2) They didn't send data to FrameReady, 3) You haven't correctly downloaded the newest data from FrameReady.

Just identifying the possibilites here.....
No question that our industry is slow to respond to automation and technology, but more and more vendors are starting to realize the importance of this. However, a number of vendors are slow to change, because retailers are slow to change....
Remember this survey, called
CMC's & POS Programs?? With 69 respondents, it shows that 67% of those (Grumblers) polled use a POS program of some sort......Industry numbers from those that sell the stuff, feel that it might be more like 20-25% of the industry. Still a major minority!
